Q
FINA Project Instructions
The objective of this project is to link the principles, practices and policies of financial management with the actual
performances of companies by using their financial statements and other published information about their
activities. More specifically, each student must select one “target” non-financial U.S. public corporation that will be
the primary focus of your report together with one additional U.S. public company in the same industry, which can
be used as a “competitor” for comparison. Find your selected “target” and “competitor” firms’ income statements
and balance sheet statements for their last two years (e.g. 2022 and 2023). You can find the financial statements on
Yahoo Finance. The following items are suggested outline for your report.
Introduction with General Information about the “target” Company (Note, the below bullet points must only be
completed for the target company)
 the complete name of the selected company


the company’s industry
a brief description of the company’s business, its significant products, areas of operation, and events in
company history.
Assessment of the Corporation’s Financial Performance:
1. Present the balance sheet for the last two years (simplify and try to fit into one page) for your “target” and
“competitor” companies.
2. Present the income statement for the last two years (simplify and try to fit into one page) for your “target” and
“competitor” companies.
3. Compute the following ratios for the most recent and previous year for your firm as well as the competitor
firm (try to create a table that summarizes all the ratios for the “target” and “competitor” companies).
Profitability Ratios
Gross Margin
Operating margin
Net profit margin
Valuation Ratios
Price-to-Earnings ratio
Market-to-Book ratio
4. Analyze the “target” and “competitor” financial conditions based on the financial ratios calculated above. You
will need to evaluate your “target” firm’s financial condition by comparing each of the financial ratio you
calculate to its major competitor. In order to discuss your observations meaningfully, don’t forget to
comment on any trends in the “target” and “competitor” firms’ performance. Please use the written
disclosures in the report to discuss more about why changes occurred on a year-to-year basis for “target” and
“competitor” firms. Identify any strengths or weaknesses you find in the “target” and “competitor” firms.
The due date for the written report is June 24, 2024. Please include the following in the
submission of the project:
 Cover and contents pages.
 Do not exceed a total of 10 pages.
 Make sure you answer all the questions and prepare your report based on the instruction.
 Organization and completeness will count.
 Be sure that the project is professional in appearance. A reader friendly report is always a good idea!
 Note: I am not looking for a “perfect” report/assignment. The project will be graded based on effort.  

In this course, you learned core applications of statistical analysis to solve real-world personal or professional inquiry problems. You also learned different techniques to draw conclusions from data. These experiences allowed you to practice designing an approach to a statistical problem, considering assumptions and constraints, and developing interpretations and conclusions. Think about how you felt when you first started the course and how you feel now. Reflect on what you learned in this course and the applications of statistical concepts in your personal and professional life.
In your initial discussion post, specifically address the following:
What are some practical uses in your own life for the skills you gained in this class?
How is data analysis changing in the world around you, including workplaces?
How can statistics be persuasive and misleading? Please provide an example.

Calculate Your Net Worth Instructions
How do you calculate net worth? Calculating your net worth requires you to take an inventory of what you own, as well as your outstanding debt. And when we say own, we include assets that you may still be paying for, such as a car or a house.
For example, if you have a mortgage on a house with a market value of $200,000 and the balance on your loan is $150,000, you can add $50,000 to your net worth.
Basically, the formula is: ASSETS – LIABILITIES = NET WORTH
Download the Net Worth Spreadsheet below to calculate your net worth. The items listed may or may not apply to you. Delete, add, and substitute to personalize it to your needs.
Create a Budget Instructions
Everyone needs a budget, whether you’re married with kids or a student embarking on an educational journey. While making and sticking to a budget may seem like a daunting task, the process can actually be easier than you think. There are a number of ways to save a few bucks every month.
An effective budget needs to be put down on paper or via a spreadsheet from a student budget template. On this budget, make a list of all your forms of incomes (including your job, loans, parents, etc.), followed by all your expenses (such as rent, books, food, etc.).
Make sure to differentiate between your needs versus your wants. The final number that you calculate should not be a negative number. If it is, you need to make some adjustments to make sure your take-home pay covers all your expenses.
Download the Budget Spreadsheet below to create a monthly budget. The items listed may or may not apply to you. Delete, add, and substitute to personalize it to your needs. Do NOT include a “miscellaneous” category – everything needs to be accounted for. Download and fill out the attached Microsoft Excel spreadsheets to complete this assignment. When you are finished, you will upload the completed Microsoft Excel spreadsheets.

there are 3 parts to this assignment, i have attached the instructions for each part, as well as an example for each of the parts, so please look at them fro refence as to how to work sshould be done. For the data that needs to be analyzed, I have screenrecored a video showing it, and all of the labels, so please refence that. I also included an image of the codebook mentioned, so when it is needed, that should be used! I also said that 3 sources are required, but if more are needed, as are shown in the examples, please do include them! Let me know if any required information is missing or if there is anything that needs further clarification!

Need to calculate and answer the following short questions, using the table attached.
1-    How many players have values that are above the mean in this dataset?
2-    How players have values that are below the mean?
3-    Calculate the z-score for Bam Adebayo. Round your answer to three decimal places. (you should also round the mean and standard deviation out three decimal places in your calculation to avoid rounding error). 
4-    Calculate the z-score for Jimmy Butler. Round your answer to three decimal places. (you should also round the mean and standard deviation out three decimal places in your calculation to avoid rounding error). 
5-    Calculate the z-score for Haywood Highsmith. Round your answer to three decimal places. (you should also round the mean and standard deviation out three decimal places in your calculation to avoid rounding error). 
6-    Calculate the z-score for Dru Smith. Round your answer to three decimal places. (you should also round the mean and standard deviation out three decimal places in your calculation to avoid rounding error)
7-    Calculate the z-score for Tyler Herro. Round your answer to three decimal places. (you should also round the mean and standard deviation out three decimal places in your calculation to avoid rounding error). 
8-    Calculate the z-score for Jamal Cain. Round your answer to three decimal places. (you should also round the mean and standard deviation out three decimal places in your calculation to avoid rounding error). 
9-    If you randomly select a professional basketball player, what is the probability that the player’s field goal percentage for the season is between Tyler Herro and Cody Zeller? To answer this question you need to use the table in the appendix of the text to figure out the area between those two scores on the normal curve. Show your work on this. To get full credit, you must demonstrate all calculations, values you used from the appendix, and steps you took to get your answer (that is, your answer must include the z score, the area under the curve that you found in the appendix, and how you came to your final answer).
10- If you randomly select an NBA player from the whole population, what percentage of the time would the player’s field goal percentage for the season be lower than Duncan Robinson? To answer this question you need to use the table in the appendix of the text to figure out the area below this score. Show your work on this. To get full credit, you must demonstrate all calculations, values you used from the appendix, and steps you took to get your answer (that is, your answer must include the z score, the area under the curve that you found in the appendix, and how you came to your final answer).
11- You and your friend are engaging in a classic sports argument: which famous athlete is better at their respective sport? In other words, we’re going to explore the question: in the year 2023, was Jimmy Butler better at basketball than Travis Kelce (Tight End for Kansas City) was at football? Because we’re comparing to totally different sports with different statistics, in order to answer this question, we need to look at standardized scores (z-scores). For Travis Kelce, we’ll look at Yards Per Catch (or Yards Per Reception), which shows the average number of yards a receiver gains every time they catch the football (how far do they take the ball each time they catch it?). It’s a simple but effective metric for evaluating the effectiveness and productivity of a Tight End. In the 2023 season, Travis Kelcy had an average of 10.6 yards per catch. The total NFL average for tight ends that year was 9.77 with a standard deviation of 2.49. 
Using this information tell me, who was better at their respective sport: Jimmy Butler or Travis Kelce?
In your answer include the following information: 
a.     The z scores for Kelce’s yards per catch and Jimmy Butler’s field goal percentage?
b.     A comparison of the two z scores and an explanation of your conclusion, based on those z-scores.  What is your final conclusion: who is better, relative to others in their respective sports? Why?
c.     Is this a fair comparison? Why or why not?
